denied links to any islamic terrorist group or the indicators that toggles driven by religious views and led by his older brother more now from in a society that. official complaints in the presence of a judge and a lawyer have been filed against one thousand year old boston bombing suspect just hearts are naive this took place at his hospital bed here in boston where he has been kept under strict guard ever since his arrest friday evening we do know of course that he suffered several serious injuries and was unable to speak for this entire time sunday evening he finally awoke and was able to answer several questions and writing and finally today he was conscious and able to react to the charges being brought against him at his hospital bed these charges of course include the use of weapons of mass destruction as well as the malicious destruction of property resulting in death now the penalty that's her knife is now dead facing as a death penalty or any term of years behind bars including life he's also facing

a fine of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars we do know of course that his miranda rights were presented to him his right to remain silence as well as his right to an attorney throughout this brief encounter with the judge and we do know that mostly turn iof was. nodding in automation of hearing what he was being told he only spoke once when asked whether or not he's able to afford a lawyer and he said no so legal counsel is going to be presented to him it's important to note that earlier there was a lot of discussion surrounding the possibility of trying as an as an enemy combatant this is something that certain republican lawmakers in the united states were rooting for this is not been the case of course we're talking about a u.s. citizen who became a u.s. citizen last year on september eleventh and has been living in the united states for over a decade the older brother to milan so now i have twenty six year old to milan of

course died in a boston hospital after being taken into custody by police and the f.b.i. has been highly criticized for avoiding to take note of his identity. and despite being of church and descends the alleged bombers spent most of their lives in the u.s. after their parents applied for asylum both were rare visitors to russia but this didn't stop mosco from raising their launch of a possible terrorist intentions of the older brother and she's going there to check out reports now on why the concerns failed to prevent the boston tragedy. as the dust settles in the wake of boston bombings the question many ask is why and how could u.s. federal authorities fail to act on the valuable intelligence from two years ago stating that the middle of was radicalized dangerous and quote prepared to join unspecified underground groups that's the information the f.b.i. says they received from the russian government so two years ago the f.b.i. interviewed the guy and reported back to the russians that they found nothing
3:03 am
suspicious since then they've apparently failed to monitor the middleman because if they have they probably discovered his you tube page under his own name by the way full of radical content with a play list titled terrorists so you have intelligence from a foreign government you have the individual openly sharing radical content and yet somehow he's off the radar the fear is the reason the f.b.i. dropped the ball on the alleged russian intelligence is that they treated it as soley russia's problem they may have taken down their lands chechen background into consideration and they may have ended up looking at this individual from a more political rather than purely law enforcement point of view this is possible given the history of all the requests and pleas that russia has made in the past with regards to a number of individuals from north caucasus accused of heinous crimes particularly those of chechen background one example yulia model who was known as the right hand of the internationally recognized chechen terrorists. just a quick reminder of who was he was killed in two thousand and six. record as
3:04 am
a chechen militant leader included in one thousand nine hundred ninety five he and his gang attacked the city of we do almost can talk to one thousand eight hundred residents of that city hostage in a hospital including one hundred fifty children at least one hundred forty people died as a result of that attack also as he gained power in the region shamil basayev stated his objective to have all muslim regions in russia break away from the country it was basically a call to start a war on all fronts among his other heinous acts that was to. school hostage crisis in beslan in two thousand and four terror that russia will never forget it left swe hundred and thirty four people dead one hundred eighty six of them children so the right hand of this monster who helped stage all this whore. arrives in the u. was somewhere around the year two thousand settles down in boston by the way and receives political asylum despite russia's pleas to treat him as a clear criminal at the beginning us federal authorities appealed the boston course
3:05 am
decision on granting him asylum then they withdrew their opposition after a number of political heavyweights in the us tuned in to support the chechen militants including former secret state albright so when questioning u.s. federal authorities reaction to the alleged russian intel on the middle ansara knives it is important to keep in mind the mindset perpetuated in the u.s. for many years in favor of the militants in russia and against the russian government's actions to stop them new york city's former mayor rudy giuliani spoke to the confusion that many americans had as they learned about the background of these hard i have brothers the chechen revolution against russia is an islamic based revolution they wanted islamic state in russia. not inherently anti-american right anti russian. american i mean and in fact here's the odd part of this if anything we've been i'm not going to say sympathetic with them but we've certainly been critical of putin and how far he's gone in dealing with. so if
3:06 am
anything they should they shouldn't have this anger at the united states so given all this maybe maybe this political mindset has prompted authorities in the u.s. to drop the ball on valuable law enforcement intelligence on tom. and james petras professor of sociology at bin continue university believes the u.s. is working on very thin ice when it banks questionable on functions elsewhere in the world. the u.s. government is working with extremists today in libya they're working with islamic extremists in syria they have been working in other places with islamic extremists on the one hand they oppose them on the other hand they instrumental lies them and hope they can discard them launch their
3:07 am
adversaries undermine and i think this is a very dangerous game that washington's playing and this case we see the boomerang effect with the terrorists that once allied with the u.s. china round in point did guns at underbellies tie gets the united states supported to chesney and start terrorist when they were working against russia when they were putting bombs in schools and metros etc they were called freedom fighters so the u.s. is no be only one being criticized for controversial choices about who to bug. has agreed to buy crude from rebels in syria selectively easing sanctions in the process critics say the union is simply supporting terrorists. sixty thousand people have signed an online petition for the u.k. to open a file into hundreds of afghan interpreters who worked with the british forces during the military operation that being left behind as the army withdraws to phase
3:08 am
their roles will they turn upon they see them as enemy collaborators. has more now that light. it was a dangerous job that required courage but while british forces withdraw the afghan interpreters who made their work possible are being left to fend for themselves rafi worked at camp prince in the helmand province he says he gets regular calls from the taliban he is your group or for. the ball or you are all sent for those you have to because if i catch you will then i would do some six hundred fifty interpreters just like rafi remain in afghanistan with no right to settle in the u.k. many of these translators are washing on the frontline so they're working with soldiers and risking their lives in exactly the same way soldiers do wearing the uniform or in their combat fatigues following their rules at least twenty to been
3:09 am
killed many more horrific injured that's a danger they knew about when they signed up with danger they didn't know when they signed up was have been a dead ten year i mean both times when you when you finish the job and you've done it right well there's a thank you the end of that job in this case it's a death threat it's a christian life because what's happening now is that as british troops withdraw afghanistan is not a safe place for these people they're seen by the taliban as having collaborated with the enemy and david the past year targeted killings of so-called international collaborators by the taliban have doubled according to the un mission in afghanistan last year six hundred ninety eight civilians were killed and three hundred seventy nine were injured in assassination attempts if they do not take the responsibility of saving their lives and providing them a peaceful environment. it will mean that they have only used those
3:10 am
interpreters and left them. in a position where today their life and their family's life are in danger because of working for the british forces r.t. got in touch with the foreign and commonwealth office responsible for the interpreters asylum claims this is the response we got people who have put their life on the line for the united kingdom will not be abandoned the government has put processes in place to ensure the service given by former enterprises with him forces is taken fully into account if individuals apply for asylum in the u k. the keyword here is individual for the moment it's a case by case basis according to the foreign office to make sure the personal circumstances are recognised case by case the sign of claims can take months even years there's no accountability every other nato country that directly employed
3:11 am
interpretations offered them some kind of special program visa program asylum britain's the only country that hasn't still dragging its feet on this the us a new zealand down norway are among the countries to publicly pledged to resettle any formally employed afghans who feel the lives are at risk in the u.k. there's also been a precedent interpreters that worked with british forces in iraq were offered asylum automatically i think we are a match of all of these people who are willing to risk their lives to support us and the second one is a programmatic basis which is we will be involved in events overseas in the future and all military clearly will need to have people helping them and who is going to help our military if they realise that they're not going to help themselves senior military and political figures urging the people who work here in the u.k. foreign office to rethink the policy and campaigns gaining momentum over sixty thousand people have signed an online petition urging the british foreign secretary to offer
3:12 am
a bulk resettlement program while the politicians think it over and here the men that risked their lives to help british forces say that the waiting game is getting deadlier by the day we were. helping the people but all they see is that reward with the aggression forces in afghanistan which are so-called the no two forces or eyes of forces but to every other. national. aggression forces and once they leave the people who be in danger and will pay. for the some wrongdoings of the americans who we did have going to interpret it and their families. azzi london. north korea responds to you as design them and demands by asking the wall to officially recognize it as the latest member of the global nuclear armed club
3:13 am
stay with us from old after the break. thanks.
3:14 am
to. the group of international landlords in the very heart of moscow. see life from moscow welcome bach. far from abandoning its atomic program north korea is now reportedly seeking international recognition as a nuclear armed state the us has laid out bizarre meant as a condition for talks but pyongyang's official newspaper says if negotiations happen it will be between equal nuclear armed nation and let's not discard the north atomic aspirations with author and asia specialist team the of mr bill very
3:15 am
nice to have you on the program so the very exclusive club we're talking about what a north korea china says that. i know we don't really know i think it's absolutely the good i think the americans are going to have to come to terms with this. it's been on the cards for a long time we knew it was coming. and ultimately it's america's fault i mean you say that those start or the agreements in the past were no group comes in if they're stuck to the the greek prime work that clinton signed back in ninety four. the. nuclear reactor would have been dismantled and taken out of the country there would be no nuclear program no nuclear bombs centric so for now are we seeing a whole you know. long period we've seen lots of negotiations and basically every
3:16 am
time the americans are sort of shied away from from coming to a deal and the problem is that over time they do that that force north koreans into trouble developing the nuclear deterrent and then it becomes more and more difficult for the group to turn around and give it up yes and literally literally yesterday be on young was asking for food aid from mongolia today is demanding nuclear armed state recognition was going on that. well i mean what do you do once food aid you i mean basically of course you want to use the americans so it. rehabilitators economy properly in trade to get investments and so forth now the american the blocking that and that basically is why there is a food problem in north korea and why they they are separate but i don't think we need to confuse the two. the the nuclear the nuclear demand
3:17 am
is there and in a sense it's for the for the koreans that it is the solution to the to the food problem and the other interesting thing i think about nuclear weapons is that and you know despite the expense many ways they offer a cheap form of defense compared with conventional g. forces now north korea hasn't got the in the economic wherewithal to come anywhere near the americans in terms of you know conventional arms and so nuclear weapons and they don't really need very much then you need them to be effective all they need is to have been there to do you agree that the americans think that they could retaliate if if if so clapped so it's quite close first on the korean point of view and that would go up to three of us south korea and japan is activity like warships and just interceptor missiles are all being pointed at korea is that all going to
3:18 am
temporary do you believe. it's all going to to ten to ten point north korea. no i mean yes i mean not that i think the the actual crisis is now sort of winding down their merican follow ups the ante with this current range of august military exercises in order to stop a new south korean government from opening up in gauging the north. africa and he promised in the intellectual campaign so i think that's probably what was behind it then the americans i think got a bit why that things were getting out of power and and have had scaled back on that but. there's less themselves with a situation where the koreans are not going to go back now they're not going to give up their own nuclear weapons but that's not the end of the story i think you know there are all sorts of ways. this can be negotiated. they can have all sorts
3:19 am
of agreements whereby there is face saved on both sides because we have to remember that is only a few years ago the americans under george bush just the same thing with india they had they had told off india for developing nuclear weapons to being outside nuclear nonproliferation treaty. and then they decided well perhaps india was going to counterbalance to china and they swallowed all these nonproliferation approachable laws and signed the deal went to a deal with india so they can do the same thing with was north korea it can be also research and asia specialist thank you very much indeed i do a bye bye bye. mired in the struggle for economic supremacy and military dorie domination of asia the u.s. and china and are contesting the moral high ground to beijing has released its
3:20 am
latest brief on the human rights situation in america in response to a similar report from washington a reckless foreign policy indiscriminate wiretapping and raise based on rights were just some of that you should have brought up on. your reports. after years of accusations of violating human rights beijing is fighting back last year the u.s. state department issued its scolding human rights practices report now china held a mirror to washington to the u.s. again accused china of limiting internet freedoms the so-called great firewall of china where beijing has long being under scrutiny for blocking many western websites such as facebook google and you tube but those criticizing china are no saints sounding people and cispa bills to control the internet data have made waves across the atlantic lately and the u.s. government approved interception of private text messages and e-mails for security needs are hardly contributing to online freedom china single party political system
3:21 am
and lack of democratic elections also came under fire the chinese report made its wife back at america's multi-party system saying that in what seems to be a democratic process it's really not the people but the amount of money spent on complaints which really decide the when is the largest part of the us report was dedicated to human rights as they are today from harsh labor conditions to poor salaries indeed china's status of being the world's factory is nothing new and the cheap labor force concept has long been debated beijing hit back with a scathing claim that in the country where racism and discrimination officially do not exist after american and hispanic employees earn forty percent less than the white population in the united states and that's through the glass ceiling for women who earn a twenty percent smaller salary than men the u.s. report also lashed out at the treatment of prisoners and members of opposition in china contrast that with a country which runs notorious guantanamo prison and the allegations of multiple human rights abuses within its walls with china highlighting full statistics on
3:22 am
deaths in u.s. prisons and the use of brutal force against peaceful demonstrators in twenty twelve it is no secret that china has a checkered human rights record but by countering the claims of those who it believes should get its own house in order it is quite clear that beijing no longer wants to see a monopoly in the market of examining human rights. every train stop imperatives and dot com says there is a link between those nations labeled right offenders and those who are opposed to u.s. interests for the united states to talk about human rights it's incredible hypocrisy when you have a massive hunger strike going on in the concentration camp known as guantanamo when the united states has engaged in violating the human rights of the people of libya of the people of syria of countless other nations around the world the chinese certainly have a lot to answer for for in terms of their own human rights record but the examples
3:23 am
that their report highlights are all not only accurate but very telling we should also remember too that the it is the and it states which monopolizes control of international institutions such as amnesty international human rights watch doctors without borders and so forth which act as the arbiters of human rights sitting in judgment of countries whether they are or are not violators i'm not suggesting that there aren't good people who work within some of these organizations or that the organizations themselves don't sometimes do good work but often what you see is those who are deemed as violators of human rights are those who sit on the enemy's list of the united states the united states pretends that it has the option of being the arbiter of truth that is to say whatever the united states determines to be human rights violation is whatever the united states does is not a human rights violation and some of the stories making headlines around the while the sign on to guns of the french and the same media have reportedly been injured
